[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 751955, member: 29360"] The writing is om the wall. If UPS doesn't figure out how to match their cost to serve the trend will continue. They have a lower cost to serve so they can charge less and still make more money per piece, even if their service is slightly worse than ours. In the end customers are more concerned about cost than perfect service. They are taking ground market share from us and growing fast in the ground business. We are taking market share from them in the air business. The pay rate and benefit cost of our drivers is the primary difference in cost. In other categories, we are more cost effective than them. What make a person near retirement have a target on their back? The cost to the company is the same as any driver thats not in progression. The expense for retirement has already been paid to the union. There is no retirement savings associated with eliminating a senior driver from a cost standpoint. [/QUOTE]
